Minutes

[RondoToKG]

How do you guys see the minutes working out? Almost seems to be too much depth for the amount of minutes to go around, I understand you can never have too much depth, but it would be a shame to have talent wasting away.

The minutes will work until bradley comes back. And just like Doc said , when bradley comes back we will see. Every year we have too much depth , and injuries take away all of it.
Now to answer your question I could see the minutes like this:

PG: Rondo 35, Terry 13
SG: Bradley 22, Lee 16, Terry 10
SF: Pierce 30, Green 12, Lee 6
PF: Bass 26, Green 16, Wilcox 6
C: Garnett 30, Wilcox 18

U could take a bit from Wilcox and Bass and give the minutes to Sullinger or Milicic, but you kinda get the idea !

[perks-a-beast]

come playoff time i think the rotation will look something like this:

Rondo (38)     Terry (10)

Lee (18)       Terry (18)        Bradley (12)

Pierce (36)    Green (12)

Bass (28)      Green (14)        Sullinger (6)

Garnett (36)   Sullinger (12)

Hard to say until we get through camp and a few exhibition games but if I were to guess? Maybe something like this:

Rondo 32-36 Bradley 10+ Terry 10+
Lee 25 Bradley 10+ Terry 10+
Pierce 32+ Green 16
Bass 30 Green 10 Sullinger 8
Garnett 30 Wilcox 10+ Darko 8

Sans Bradley:

Rondo 35 Terry 13
Lee 30 Terry 13 Christmas 5
Pierce 30 Green 18
Garnett 20 Sully 10 Green 8
Wilcox 20 Darko 20 Garnett 8

With Bradley

Rondo 35 Terry 13
Bradley 25 Terry 13 Lee 10

You see Bradley getting just 12 minutes in the playoffs?

I think we see Terry and Bradley picking up the back PG minutes for a while. I doubt we look at a backup PG until we see how that works out. The history even with Dooling, Arroyo and other legit PG's is to run the offense through Pierce anyway. I doubt it changes much this year with all the new available options, especially Terry.

I hadnt considered starting Wilcox over Bass, but I like it now that I see it. I hope it happens because he is much more dangerous and effective defensively than Bass. I also like the offense Bass gives us in the second unit. He will really help spread the floor for Terry and Green. KG or Darko will be in the paint so he can roam out to 16-20 feet easily.

To be honest, I'm not wild about it, but its what I bet will happen. Wilcox seems to have earned a modicum of trust, and I bet that FWF was right, and the Darko signing was motivated by showing KG he won't be playing as much center as he did down the stretch last year (you know..when we were good).

Wilcox also secretly plays like a PF, shhhh...don't tell KG.

Yeah I see your point but I am looking at what may be our best choice at least to start the season. Darko, Green and Sullinger are such unknown quantities at this point and I dont think Melo will be ready for a few years. Bass could be most valuable off the bench IMO. Collins is what he is and that isnt a rotation player IMO except in extreme circumstances.

RS:

Rondo 34, Terry 14
SG minutes
Pierce 28, Green 20
Bass 26, Green 12, Sullinger 10
Garnett 28, Milicic 10, Sullinger 5, Melo 5

PO's:

Rondo 38, Terry 10
SG minutes
Pierce 34, Green 14
Bass 26, Green 14, Sullinger 8
Garnett 34, Milicic 8, Collins 8

Doc will try to rest PP and KG in the RS, but come play offs he'll give them minutes. His biggest challenge is the rotation at the shooting guard spot and the back up center.

I'm glad i dont have to make these decisions ...

[greg_kite]

I don't think this is how it will work out but I would like this:
Rondo 30 Terry 18
Pierce 10 Lee 17 Bradley 17
Green 28 Pierce 20
Bass 28 Wilcox 15 Sullinger 5
KG 28 Wilcox 5 Darko 10 Melo 5
